Fort Scott Munitions engineered this 300-grain 45-70 load with their proprietary Tumble Upon Impact technology to deliver consistent results where it matters most. The solid copper projectiles are precision-machined on CNC lathes, ensuring tight tolerances and repeatability that you can trust shot after shot.
Instead of relying on expansion like hollow points, these bullets maintain their integrity while penetrating deeply into soft tissue. Upon impact with water-based material, the projectile tumbles end-over-end, creating an enlarged wound cavity through dynamic energy transfer. The design prioritizes internal damage rather than immediate skin trauma, which translates to more reliable terminal performance on game at typical hunting ranges.
Loaded in reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers and non-corrosive powder, this ammunition delivers 1,763 feet per second and 2,071 foot-pounds of energy from a 24-inch test barrel. The 0.166 ballistic coefficient keeps the trajectory reasonably flat for a heavy lever-action cartridge. Solid copper construction means no fragmentation, no lead exposure, and complete weight retention that aids penetration through tough hide and bone.
While match-grade ammunition like this finds its home in the hunting world, the same precision manufacturing and ballistic consistency make it suitable for range work and even defensive applications. The 20-round box format keeps costs manageable compared to some specialized hunting loads, though premium components and manufacturing justify the pricing structure.
Fort Scott designed TUI bullets to tumble end-over-end when striking soft tissue, creating larger wound cavities than conventional ammunition without relying on expansion. The solid copper projectile maintains its shape while transferring energy through this tumbling action, resulting in deeper penetration and more consistent terminal performance on game.
Yes. These rounds come with Boxer primers in reloadable brass cases, which is standard for reloaders. Non-corrosive primers also mean the brass lasts longer without complications from corrosive residue.
Most 45-70 hunters find these rounds effective to 200 yards or beyond with proper shot placement, though some find good results at closer ranges in heavy cover. The ballistics and heavy bullet weight work well for medium to large game, but expect significant bullet drop beyond 150-200 yards.
This ammunition is rated for modern strong-action firearms like the Marlin 1895 and similar contemporary lever guns. Always check your specific rifle's manual and verify barrel length before use, as load specifications vary by firearm design.
